Manilla Fucking Road

[MetalHeadMarc]

Dude, that song fucking sucked, I write better power metal than that. Real quick to call me a fag when your the one with some giant gay guy looking over your desk. Does that help you get off when your rubing one out? You know, having the giant gay guy look at you while you do it? Well if it's any consilation, you can't be as gay as that manilla road song.

I like how stupid you are. It entertains me. I guess you're like The Greys, who was too busy to learn about grammar and basic logic because he had better things to do.

It's a random picture from the vast internet, btw, and it's clearly a girl, you fool. I guess you simply don't understand it then.

 

[Enemy242]

that song wasn't so great imo

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Man, Marc is possibly a worse poster than The Greys. It's frightening.

 

[MetalHeadMarc]

Thank you, I'm not afraid to blast something and in turn be blasted for it.

Woo, first time I have ever heard Manilla Road.

That song was fucking rad.

5 copies of Open The Gates. They're $22, but that is a good price for that album at this point. Get them now before they're gone if you still need this album.

spelling is not the same as grammar

 

[The Ozzman]

Do you know if Tim is going to get it back in stock anytime soon?

 

[skeptik]

I highly, highly doubt it. It's been out of print for years, and the likelihood of him being able to track down even more copies, which he's done multiple times, seems pretty slim.

i remember i had a flamewar with a guy who claimed to the mark the shark on MA and yahoo chat lol

 

[Zephyrus]

Someone find me a cheap copy of Crystal Logic. Thanks in advance.

Uhh, Manilla Road is the beginning of True Poseur Stomping Metal

Wouldn't that have been Def Leppard, or someone of that variety?

Only stupid heads don't think Manilla Road is fucking awesome.

I've never seen one band so over-worshiped on these forums as this one.

 

[skeptik]

I stand by my original statement. Why you wouldn't like Manilla Road I have no idea. They're honestly one of the best Metal bands ever.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

They're unique, and did a few great songs, but overall I don't find them nearly as talented or innovative, as the likes of Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Motorhead, etc.

 

[skeptik]

Apparently you've never paid attention to Mark Shelton's solos or Randy Foxe's drum fills or Scott Park's stellar bass playing. Even today's lineup is very talented. Mark Shelton has always managed to surround himself with excellent, yet soulful musicians.

 

[no country for old wainds]

manilla road are subtle as hell sometimes, there's a ton of invention and magic there but it's not always immediately obvious

 

[Rumpole]

I don't know, I'd say a pretty fair amount of their early to mid material is immediately gratifying and becomes even more rewarding with further listens. But admittedly albums like The Deluge or Mystification take a bit more effort to get into than say Open The Gates (but they still rule).

I really have to disagree with you on this, as brilliant as those bands are, none of their discographies come close to the overall consistency that Manilla Road have displayed throughout their career. More than a dozen studio albums and not one that you could describe as a dud, which is a hell of lot more than you could say for pretty much any other band in Heavy Metal that has been around for as long as the Road has.
